Conduct for drunkenness.
This amendment was opposed to by MT;
Ragland in an eloquent speech. de sald
that this amendment was striking ut the
rights of an American citizen. There was
no other profession which had such pro-
vision which had such restriction as TINS,
and that some of the ablest physicians and
some of the brightest men of the age were
addicted to drinking. The physician s

the profession, and that he didn't believe
in giving the Board of Health power to re-

use of stimulants.
Mr.. Hensley spoke for the amendment.
He said the life OF the physician was looked
to by the people for their rules for health,
and that if a boy saw the physician III
dulging in intOxicants he would use 1t as
an argument to continue his making use OF
the same. Ae spoke of the danger occas-
ioned by the Use of alcohol by a man who
has the life or death of patients in his
care and hoped that on that account the
amendment would pass.
Mr.. GOrrell also spoke for the amend
ment, and Messrs. McClung, Lucas and
Young against it. The amendment was
rejected and the bill was ordered engroSsed

GIBSON AND ROGERS.
The Two Gentlemen Get Mad Over the
Salaries Bill.

SALARIES blll.
WASHINGTON, II. c., February 9.-The
House resumed the consideration of the hill
changing the mode of compensation to
United States District Attorneys, Mar
shals and Commissioners.
Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas made a sharp
onslaught upon the measure, declaring
tha I it was loosely and crudely prepared.
Mr.. Gibson, of West Virginia, init
mated that the gentleman's opposition
arose from the fact that the compensation
Of the officers in his district was inter
fered with.
This imputation Mr.. Rogers Indignantly
denied, and ret0rted with 4 vague insinua-
ton that in respect to this bill 1.-THE Niger
in the wood pile was certain officer
in certain district Of Virginia.
He said the preparers Of the bill
did not even appear 10 understand the
English language, and congratulated Mr..
GibsOn's constituency upon having retired
him from public life,
Mr.. Gibson said, the gentleman had re-
ferred to the factthat he had not been re-
elected. Perhaps if he had been pOliti-
clan, using ring methods perhaps, If he
had been a demagogue he might have been
reelected rs the gentleman had been.
Mr.. Rogers, continuing. pointed out that
while Mr.. GihSOn's brother earned 81, 400,
and was given S3,0OO by the bill, the at
torney in his district who earned 5000
was cut down to $1,000.
Pending action the morning hour ex-
pired.

THE VERMONT DISASTER.
Denial Of "a Rumor That 1t was Caused by a
Broken Wheel.


Broken Wheel.
NEW YORK, February 9.-Cien. Horace
Porter, Vice President OF the Pullman
Palace Car Company, In reply 10 inquiries
rs to the report that the Vermont Railroad
disaster was caused by broken wheel on
one of the Pullman cars, says: 81 have
received no reports regarding the matter
As such subjects are reported TO the Chi
capo general Office and any Investigations
are started there, we are not in a position
10 know ObOut them Immediately. | do
believe that the accident was caused by 4
broken wheel on one of our coaches, for
two passengers preceded the sleeper in the
fall from the bridge 1t il years since we
have had a broken wheel reported. / do
not know of any discussion by the direc-
tors OF any change III heating our Cars."
4 prominent capitalist, in discussing the
calamity. said that the need of fire proof
cars was as great as that of providing bet
ter heating arrangements. lie said that
one of the reasons why fire spread 30 rapid
Iy in cars overturned in winter, when
stoves were used, was that the hollow
SPACES at the bottom and sides were filled
with sawdust and shavings at hand in the
shOIrs where the cars were built. The pur-
pose, of course, was to deaded sound and
keep out dust and heat in SUMMER and
cold i'll winter.
4 dispatch from White River Junction,
VT, says: 4 12-inch fragment of rail
picked up at the scene of the Central Yer
mont accident shows that the rail from
which it was broken must have been very

CHARLESTON, w. VA, February g.
II. B. l37, concerning the public health
and the rights. duties and powers of the
State Board of Health, coming mp on a
second reading Monday, Occasioned much
debate. Mr.. HOke Objected to the follow
ing provision of the bill: The State
Board of Health may refuse certificates %
guilty of unprOfessional or dis
honorable conduct, aud they may revoke
certificates for like causes.
lie said that he thought the provision
put entirely too much power into the
hands Of the Board Of Health when 1t gave
them authority 10 take away the ceTtlh-
cate of physician who had made his pro-
feSsion his lite study. and who would thus
virtually be deprived of his snStenanee,
without allowing him any opportunity lor
an apueal or trial Of any kind.
Mr.. Ragland said that this law vas Just
what is needed. lie said that there were
numbers of diShOnOrable persons claiming
to be physicians, who would not hesitate
to commit malpractice Of almost any KIND
for the sake OF gain, aud this provision
gave the Board OF Health power TO punish
them by depriving them of their eertlh-
Gates
Mr.. Kidd thought it due TO the physl-
clans of the state that an amendment
should be passed allowing them at least
ten DAYS notice of such proceeding. and
that they be allowed to appear before the
Board, and also giving them the night oil
appeal to the Circuit Court
Mr. Chew offered an amendment to that
effect.
Mr.. Woods said that there gas no oeca-
sion to change the law in this respect, tor
no penalty was prescribed for the practice
of medicine without q certificate, and ne
couldn't see that it made much difference
on that account whether the physician had
n certificate or not.
Mr.. Hagans said that the ofense was q
little too indefinite, in his mind. He knew
what ''unprofessiOnal conduct" would
mean in a lawyer or possibly in the minis
try. but that the practice Of medicine EN-
braced too many contingencies TO grant the
Board of Health the privilege of interpret
ing unproIessiOnal conduct as they pleased
Mr.. Chew's amendment was then adopted.
By motion of Mr.. Hoke, it was then
amended by providing for an appeal in

Called Out--Strikers Returning to Work.
New YORK, February 9.-Except for the
number of 'longshoremen standing idle
on the corners, the streets along the river
fronts have assumed almost their normal
appearance. Though it requires larger
number of men to do the work nOw than
formerly, the steamboat and railroad pier
managers all claim that business is as good
as before the strike, and that freight Is
being moved with the utmost facility.
Steamers now leave at the advertised time
and the lam of freight on the railroad piers
no longer exists. Al the Mallory dock and
the Clvde Line dock on the East river,
where they are in the habit of clearing one
or more steamers per day, there has been
decided improvement At the latter dock
the steamer City OF Atlanta came up yes
terday, aud this morning she was almost
discharged. The pier master on the Nal
lory dcck said he had seven of the strikers
at work, but was unable, however, to point
them out.
The Commercial Advertiser says regarding
the big strike: ''The strike Of the rail-
road freight handlers in this city was
week old last night. The 'longshOremen
quit work on January %. Both strikes
are now admitted even by their projectors
to he failures. They have not helped the
cauSe Of the coal handlers nor brought
any increase Of pay. They have not ser
iously interfered with the business OF the
companies against which the movement was
directed. There never was great labor
movement in New York city with failure
so miserable as these strikes. At the pres
ent time there are STA freight handlers
aud 'longShoremen idle in New York city
as a result of the strike. Two weeks ago
these men had steady employment at good
wages Most of these laborers vill never
regain the places they left at the command
of the h. of L.

representatives of President COrbin, OF the
Reading Railroad, this morning, but with

The question of calling out the Knights on
the Reading road Is still open, and may be
ordered within two days, Mr.. Corbin's
offer of compromise having been refused.
The Knights of Labor insist on general
settlement, and intimate that new strikes
will soon be taken TO bring it about The
